Not quite, work site arrests virtually stopped in 2000 (during Clinton) for some reason, probably some INS rule imposed by the Clinton administration.
The common thread is that in both cases our gvt's stance favors the interests of US business over those of US citizens.
For decades the Republican Party hasn't stood for anything but big business. In the old days they had the cold war to help them get the presidency, today they're trying to make terrorism the new Soviets, a ploy that is bound to fail. They have no real domestic vision (GHWB's "vision thing"), and are completely controlled by the mores pushed by the mass media. (Democracy in the age of television basically means a velvet dictatorship of the media.) They've never really served their voters, only manipulated them, and sooner or later the hollowness of the party will cause a collapse of morale among their supporters which, combined with the importation of millions of Democratic voters, will see the Republicans sent to the wilderness once again, perhaps forever this time.
